What problem does it solve? Verifying whether a company is real, who actually owns it, and whether it is safe to sign a contract or send payment requires hours of fragmented research across registries, court records, sanctions lists, and domain data. This Skill turns a brand name, website, or invoice into a structured due-diligence investigation with sourced findings and confidence grades. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Legal Entity Resolution: Resolves a brand, website, or invoice to the registered legal entity with registry number, jurisdiction, and status, distinguishing the contracting entity from the brand owner. - Ownership and Officer Mapping: Walks group structure up to the ultimate parent and down to subsidiaries, profiles directors and their prior companies, and records beneficial owners or documented opacity points. - Risk Screening: Checks litigation, insolvency, procurement history, sanctions, PEP status, and adverse media in local languages, then scores the entity against a weighted shell-company red-flag catalogue. - Use Case: A vendor pitches a supply contract. The Skill reveals the invoice names a fourteen-month-old entity with a dissolved-company director history while the nine-year trading history belongs to a different group entity, so you contract with the right party or walk away. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to run x-ray-a-company on the vendor's website and invoice to verify the legal entity, ownership, and risk profile before signing.
